B&I Cup Quarter-Final To Take Place On April 4

The date, venue and kick-off time has been confirmed for the mouth-watering British & Irish Cup quarter-final between Leinster 'A' and Munster 'A'.

Leinster 'A' will take on their provincial rivals Munster 'A' in the last-eight of the British & Irish Cup on Friday, April 4 at Donnybrook, with a 7pm kick-off time.

When the tie was announced, Leinster 'A' team manager Girvan Dempsey said: "It's a really exciting quarter-final. There's good history between ourselves and Munster right through the age-grade rugby to the professional game, particularly in the B&I Cup over the last couple of years."

This will be the third year in a row that the Leinster and Munster 'A' teams will have faced each other in the knock-out stages of the British & Irish Cup, with both sides registering a win apiece in the previous two encounters.

Tickets for April's match will be available in a pre-sale for Leinster Season Ticket holders next week, before going on sale to the general public.

Last Friday's GUINNESS PRO12 draw with Glasgow Warriors was Jordi Murphy's first Leinster appearance in over two months. His last outing for the province was against Wasps in the European Champions Cup, the match finishing in a draw which was enough to clinch a home quarter-final.

It has been confirmed that Connacht centre Dave McSharry suffered a grade 2 PCL tear to his knee during a recent training session. Recovery time for the 25-year-old is likely to be from eight to ten weeks.
